A bicyclist was taken to the hospital after he was sideswiped by a vehicle Monday on U.S. 73, a police spokesman said.

The accident was reported at 4:39 p.m. Monday north of McIntyre Road. Sgt. M. Dickason of the Lansing Police Department said the vehicle and bicyclist were traveling south. The cyclist, a 50-year-old man, was on the shoulder of the highway.

Dickason said the vehicle's driver, a 46-year-old woman, said she had been watching the vehicle in front of her and apparently didn't see the cyclist. She was cited for an allegation of inattentive driving.
